Eternal youth update 2026

[fastcompany166]

Well, I’m 76 now and the “ANALOG” FiST is 10 years old. Ordered in mid-2016, final assembly completed on my birthday in November, 2016 and I took delivery on New Years Eve 2016. Today, the odo shows 133,234 miles and honestly, I still friggin’ look forward to driving it every day. Last week, I had the timing belt, water pump and thermostat (all original) replaced. Found a terrific independent shop here in Keller (TX) who took care of it all. Lonestar Elite Automotive- I can’t recommend them highly enough. Fair price and work done right the first time. Check them out. Although the FiST remains my fountain of youth, I did trade my ‘23 Honda Grom in for a new Triumph Speed 400. Youth marches on!

Congratulations. Mine will be 10 years old this summer and I also look forward to driving it every time that I do.

Good job! It’s really an amazing driver. I’ve owned lots of sports cars through the years, and each had its own highs and lows. But the ST is so simple, so balanced, and just nails the power/weight/handling equation so well. Were the lucky ones, for sure.

Yes, I've been fortunate enough to own some nice cars through the years, and this is right at the top. Some of them might have looked superior on paper, but of course you don't live life on paper.
I agree, it's the balance, it just does everything well.
